Thunder rumbled above the surface world.
But deep underground, in the heart of The Abyss Citadel, a different storm was brewing — one not of nature, but of power.
Sam stood before a towering obsidian monument newly erected in the center of his throne chamber. Lines of glowing silver energy pulsed through its surface like veins. His most trusted generals — high-tier summoned humans with advanced intelligence and strategy protocols — knelt before him.
They had one question to ask.
"Is it time… to declare the birth of the Empire?"
Sam stepped forward, his voice cold and calm. "Yes."
He raised his right hand.
[DING! New Feature Unlocked – Obsidian Empire System.]
– Establish Capital: Abyss Citadel
– Assign Imperial Ranks
– Issue Obsidian Law
– Global Black Market Currency: Activated
All around the world, those who had submitted to Sam — hundreds of thousands of syndicate members, assassins, hackers, mercenaries — received a system message in their minds:
> You are now citizens of the Obsidian Empire. Follow the Eternal Summoner. Disobedience equals deletion.

The surface shook.
News of the Obsidian Coin spread like wildfire across the underworld. It was untraceable, decentralized, and rapidly replacing gold, cash, and even crypto in the black market. Syndicates who refused to accept it found their bank accounts drained, their networks fried, and their members wiped out overnight.

Berlin, Germany – 11:45 PM
The Black Vulture cartel refused to submit.
They vanished the next day. Every member. Every trace.

Cairo, Egypt – 2:17 AM
A crime lord begged to kneel before Sam's image broadcast via drone. He was allowed to live — but his empire was absorbed.

Sam returned to his throne, the room now echoing with chants from his summoned citizens:
"Long live the Eternal Summoner. Hail the Obsidian Empire!"
His generals approached.
"Shall we target the surface world next?"
Sam's eyes darkened.
"Not yet. Let them feel safe. Let their leaders laugh in their towers… unaware that every inch of their underworld is already mine."
He waved a hand, and a new map emerged — showing major political figures, law enforcement leaders, and CEOs of tech and arms companies.
His next goal wasn't crime.
It was complete world control.
"You framed me," he whispered. "Now, I'll frame history."
